Meet the SLP:
My name is Diane Georger, I am the SLP (Speech-Language Pathologist) at Woodward. I can be reached at 508-229-1250 extension 166 or by email at dgeorger@nsboro.k12.ma.us.
I have been a speech-language pathologist for over 30 years and this is my 14th year at the Woodward School. I have also worked in other schools in Central Massachusetts as well as in the Alexandria, Virginia area. I have my Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) from the American Speech-Language Hearing Association and am licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a Speech-Language Pathologist. I am currently working on my post-graduate certificate in Assistive Technology from Framingham State University.
When I’m not working, I love to read, walk my sweet little rescue dog, Nelly, and visit my three wonderful grandchildren in New York. Their names are Ella (9), Lily (7) and Johnny (4). -
"Hello! My name is Mrs. Stephanie Rooney and I am the Speech Language Therapy Assistant (SLPA) for Woodward School and Finn School.
